1 Multivariate Analysis of Variables Affecting Thermal Performance of Black Liquor Evaporators Hamideh Hajiha & Honghi Tran (University of Toronto) Odessa Websdale, Denys Holik & Bill Downing (DMI) 1

2 Thermal Performance of Evaporators Related to scaling Scaling can be costly Figure: Heavy scale built up around the 58% flash tank outlet vortex breaker leading to an unscheduled shutdown of the evaporator system for scale removal 2

3 Kraft Recovery Process Lime Kiln Wood Pulping Digester Lime Mud White Liquor Lime Causticizing Plant Pulp Washing Weak Black Liquor 15% solids Evaporators Green Water Liquor Recovery Smelt Boiler Heavy Black Liquor 70% solids 3

4 Potential Factors Affecting Thermal Performance of Evaporators Equipment Operation Black liquor property 4

5 Objective To determine correlations between thermal performance and operating conditions of black liquor evaporators using multivariate data analysis techniques 5

6 Approach Mill visit and data collection Multivariate data analysis: Study many interconnected parameters simultaneously Study correlations that may exist among parameters 6

25 High vs. Low U Periods: Higher U periods had: a lower WBL % solids to FT, and recirculation pump load a higher steam temperature, pressure and flow rate to the 1st effect a higher WBL Temp, and flow rate a higher cooling water flow rate to SC a higher vapour pressure in effects 25

26 Conclusion The water flow rate to the surface condenser, the weak black liquor % solids, and the weak black liquor flow rate to the evaporators were found to be the dominant parameters in the PLS model of the evaporators based on the loading plot and VIP plot 26
